The Tourna ment Brought to a Close One Day
Before the Appointed Time

The Tournament Brought O q Close One Day
Before the Appointed Time.
The tournament of the Indianapolis Sports
mems Association closed. yesterday. the pro-
gramme announced being disregarded, while
the shooting confined to chance matches
The marksmen were jealous to test their skill
but the want of popular interest in the amuse
ment and poor returns in gate receipts did not
offer any encouragement in continuing the tour
nament as it had been planned
A deficit of about $500 has to be met
by the projectors of the enterprise
but they attribute the very small attend
ance of crack-shots from abroad to the
fact that the whole affair, from its inception to it's
close, accomplished in thirty days. Had
more time been taken in preparation, the man
ayers think the tournament would have renewed
the old-tim local interest in the sport. 1t has
had the effect though, to the old Indian
apols Gun Club to arrange for shooting season
in September It is proposed to have the p&rses
guaranteed by subscriptions from the Board of
Trade, hotels and citizens. The managers want
to make these prizes of such amounts as will at
tract the best shots in the country.
The entries in the several matches yesterday
were from three to nine, but the shooting scored
low except in a "freeze out" that gave Beck an
opportunity to surpass the men who heretofore
took most OF the first and second moneys It
was match with twenty Peoria backbirds
single. Beck shot nineteen. Thursby eighteen,
Gay eight and Lockwood one Mersham lost his
fourth bird, and Root retired missing his
first. A match at five singles brought in
Mersham, who shot four and half, while
Thursby and Gay alone of the nine entries
shot their five. Thomas got four. Cotton. Sock
well and Beck each three and half Roots two,
and j. Gay one and half. Another match, in
which eighteen were taken, gave Mersham and
Thursby the lead with twelve, Gay next, with
ten, and Beck at the bottom of the score with
only four. Mersham, Arms and Thursby took
chances at fifteen birds The latter filled his
score, Arms coming next. only one short, with
Mersham third, with twelve birds to his credit.
Out of nine Peoria blackbirds. Mersham shot
nine, Thursby seven, and Arms and Roots each
six. After continuing the shooting in this man
ner until 4:30 o'clock, the tournament closed.
